Potato gun. Rick is too much of a city slicker to know about them....but I tell you what we can feed the deer in Roscommon from the club grounds!
I don't know if anyone caught this but I'm planning on riding the Mio CCC run on Sat June 15 if anyone has that day open. Lemme know.

FYI...
I posted a few pictures of TF III. Does anyone else have any? I didn't take nearly as many as I would have liked.

Neat pics!
Man, it just warmed my heart to see the kids (and Napper) zippin' around that field! That's what it's all about! I think I get more excited about the new little bikes anymore as opposed to the latest high tech bike bikes. I saw a new DRZ125 in a dealer yesterday. Pretty neat competition for the TTR125!

I wish we could have caught the xr50 / yz250 crash on tape. Given Napper's terminal velocity and mass, he may have very well taken out the 250 big dog.
My wife rides Zach's little xr50, and giggles the whole time. We all remember our first ride... :debil:
As far as the CB break, I slept horizontally in a bed for the first time last night. It's a big PITA more than anything. This is a relatively minor injury, but there are so many things you take for granted that you can't do with one arm tied back 24x7. Once I can drive and get on a keyboard full time again, I'll at least be working. It's my wife I feel for. With me so dependent on her for some things, the responsibilities I used to do, and 3 kids to chase around, her workload went way up.
With a fair amount of thinkin' time on my hands, I'm planning some bike and gear protection changes so an injury like this won't (hopefully) sideline me again.
1) Scott's steering damper.
2) Michelin S-12s (also looking at StarCross MS2s)
3) Neck pad (from www.promotorcyclesafety.com)
4) Elbow/forearm pads
5) Knee brace (use this skiing also to prevent ACL injuries; I've met too many people who have to wear one of these after the fact.)
I may end up looking like a football player, but the alternative sucks.
Safe riding!!!
P.S. Check out the large version of the pics. Most are 800x600 (although I had to reduce quality a lot to get in under the 75K limit).

My pictures went to the developer this afternoon (I had a couple of pictures remaining on the roll). Bill, thanks for the pictures (and the captions - what a comedian). Once you are healthy (and you get the greeen light from your wife), I hope to see you back on the trail.
I would like to thank Zach, Hannah and NAPPER for the entertainment on Saturday night. I am still smiling. :) :)

I have a couple more pic's left, but my daughter has a game tonight and that should do it. as for protective gear, I'd add a good chest proctector & a pair of knee pads. also I'd make sure the bike it self is ready. hope you heal quickly. just take your wife on a cruise this winter, that should make up a little for all her extra work.

I just posted five pictures to the gallery. They should be viewable once Okie approves them.
